gnome terminal scrollbar visibility

Question

According the manual below

https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-terminal/stable/pref-scrolling.html.en

There is an option (Edit ▸ Profile Preferences ▸ Scrolling) "Scrollbar visibility" so that you can choose from the following options:

Always visible: Scrollbar is visible at all times.

Visible only when necessary: Scrollbar is visible only when terminal output exceeds the length of Terminal window size.

Hidden: Scrollbar is always hidden from view.

But in Ubuntu 12.04 (I removed unity so the scrollbar is the old style), there is no such option. The scrollbar is always shown even I didn't type anything.

How to change this, please.

Solution

Please, try to follow instructions a bit carefully. Look and see, please:

Could you expand a little bit what you mean by 'follow instructions'?

@Alioth -1: he clearly meant the option to show the scrollbar only when necessary.
